Exactly my case. Apple Silicon was a game changer in relation to performance against cost. Was able to replace my old top PC with a mac mini and improve my work on Adobe suite. Impressive. The ecosystem with my iPhone was also an amazing improvement. Airdrop is fantastic.
I haven’t used an apple silicon device yet but I understand they’re insane on battery and performance.
And airdrop is stupid useful in so many scenarios.
There’s a nice browser run and open source alternative to airdrop called Snapdrop. It uses web rtc to transmit data from device to device directly and can be self-hosted. I use it to transfer data between my Mac and my windows pc as well as my steam deck.
Thanks! I will check that out. Does it transfer from iPhone to a windows pc too?
Yes, every device I tested so far (apart from Netscape on windows 3.1)
That’s gonna be a no from me dawg, I fuck around exclusively in ‘scape. 🤣
Why would anyone use Netscape if they can still use the much more traditional IBM WebExplorer
